Rajmachi Fort is one of the most significant citadels built atop the Sahyadri mountain ranges. The twin fortresses of Manaranjan Ballekilla and Sriwardhan Ballekilla are encompassed by a plateau on which sits a tiny hamlet called Udhewadi. At the bottom of the hills is the Bhor Ghat, an ancient trade route connecting Pune and Mumbai. The historical Fort was built by the Satavanas and was later occupied by the Marathas and the Mughals, and was regained by the Marathas till it reached the hands of the British. Check out the temple for Kala Bhairava, which is said to be older than the fort. You can either trek up the hill to the fort or hire a sturdy vehicle to drive you up the hill to the Rajmachi Fort. The Fort is about 15 km from Lonavala and Khandala.
